I wanted to emerge kdnssd to fix the "ld: cannot find -lkdnssd" problem from bug #183511. Unfortunately it failed with the same error message: /bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --tag=CXX --mode=link powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-g++ -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -O2 -pipe -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION -o kio_zeroconf.la -rpath /usr/kde/3.5/lib64/kde3 -avoid-version -module -L/usr/kde/3.5/lib64 -L/usr/qt/3/lib64 -L/usr/lib64 -avoid-version -module -no-undefined -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined -R /usr/kde/3.5/lib64 -R /usr/kde/3.5/lib64 -R /usr/qt/3/lib64 -R /usr/lib64 dnssd.lo -lkdnssd -lkio /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lkdnssd collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [kio_zeroconf.la] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kde-base/kdnssd-3.5.7/work/kdnssd-3.5.7/kdnssd/ioslave' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kde-base/kdnssd-3.5.7/work/kdnssd-3.5.7/kdnssd' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kde-base/kdnssd-3.5.7/work/kdnssd-3.5.7' make: *** [all] Error 2 # emerge --info Portage 2.1.2.7 (default-linux/ppc/ppc64/2007.0/64bit-userland/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r3, 2.6.21.1 ppc64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.21.1 ppc64 PPC970FX, altivec supported Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 28 Jun 2007 08:00:01 +0000 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.23b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.21 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="ppc64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" CHOST="powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl alsa arts avahi berkdb bitmap-fonts bittorrent bzip2 cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dvd dvdr eds emboss encode esd fam firefox flac fortran ftp gdbm gif glitz gnome gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv ipv6 isdnlog jack jpeg kde ldap libg++ mad midi mikmod mp3 mpeg mudflap mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp oss pam pcre perl png ppc64 ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support quicktime readline reflection ruby samba sdl session spell spl ssl svg tcpd threads tiff tools truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vorbis xcb xml xorg xv zlib" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="dummy fbdev mach64 mga nv r128 radeon vega" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
